Notes

Light agave refers to the color!
Don't over mix the batter! Mix only until the batter forms, then stop. Over mixing can cause your banana bread to be tough.
When using the butter knife with swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter, don't mix it into the batter too much! You want to see the cinnamon swirl throughout the loaf.
